One night following my usual schedule I was chatting with Rimsha.

Vyom : Rimz…please do something about me and Upasana. I really like that girl.

Rimsha: hmmm

Vyom: wat hmm??? I’m serious. Okay! See Oindrila ma’am teaches her. Just ask from ma’am how is she in studies? Plzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 Rimsha: wat?????? Have u gone mad?R u kidding me? u expect me to ask such a non-sense frm ma’am. R u out of ur mind??

Vyom : Rimz…plzzz. See it’s not a big deal for u. ma’am loves u a lot. If u ask her such questions, she’ll happily reply. Plz Rimz…do it for me, for our friendship.

Rimsha: Ur such an Ass! FYI, I ‘m not doing anything like dis. And it’s final.

Vyom: don’t u want to see me happy? How mean of u Rimz…ja mujhe tujhse nahi baat karni.

Rimsha: two days back u told me that u were interested in Suman.

Vyom: Suman?? Who is she?

Rimsha: the one who was allotted to write an essay on you.

Vyom : ohh…yeah…she is also good but no yaar…for me Upasana is perfect. If for any reason I don’t get Upasana, I’ll try dat girl. But for now, Upasana is best. Do something Rimz.

Rimsha: u know u r mentally imbalanced. Rite! Well proud to tell u that Upasana last nite got show cause notice frm the warden.

Vyom : wat?????? U r kidding, rite?? :O

Rimsha: no it’s true, she and some more 3 to 4 girls got the notice.

Vyom : but y?

Rimsha: they were trying to go out of the hostel at nite 2:30. The guard caught them. One of them even tried to bribe the guard. Bt nothing workd. Pretty smart juniors.

Vyom : dat's true!!! I can’t believe this. I mean… how can they dare to do so? Well, the whole group did that or only 1 or 2 are culprit and other innocents jst got caught.

Rimsha: I don’t know the details.

Vyom: is Upasana in danger??? Hw is she???

Rimsha: ohh….look at Vyom…he is sooooo concerned abt Upasana. Never knew Vyom is such a caring person.

Vyom: C’mon Rimz, stop it, y will I care for her, she isn’t my girl friend.

Rimsha: oh...I can see Vyom blushing.

I heard a knock at the door. I typed.

Vyom: some1 at the door. Wait, BRB.

Rimsha: f9 then, I’m getting sleepy, need to catch my bed. Bye, see u at class, good nite.and remember Upasana is not your piece of cake J.

As I came back I saw Rimsha was offline and read her offline message. This message made me annoyed. And so I texted her- ‘you owe me an explanation abt y is she out of my league.  I want the answer 2mrw itself.’

She took no time to reply- for that u need to be up early and attend the class. And I know it’s simply impossible for u. Never mind my best wishes for u. bye, gudni8 and sweet dreamz of Upasana. I hope she is at least get-able in your dreams. J 

I hardly use to attend the classes. My friends were champs in proxy business. Tanay informed me to positively attend the IPC class as we were supposed to get some assignments.

‘Is it really so important to attend this class?’ Ketan asked

‘I told it’s totally your wish. Being a member of academic committee, I thought it’s my duty to inform you guys.’, Tanay replied irritably

I moved inside the class and took my seat next to Rimsha, the usual first bench.

She whispered," why the hell you are sitting here? Take a back seat. The professor knows very well that you don’t attend his classes. "

“I RARELY attend any classes. And it hardly matters… I am still the TOPPER.” I answered leaning on her.

"Sit properly, Vyom. "she said firmly with a tone of anger in her voice.

Annabeth who was sitting beside Rimsha said, ‘Look, who’s sharing this place with us today. I feel so honored’.

‘Anna…he comes daily but he remains invisible. You know he is GOD…Vyom, the God!’ Rimsha added more fuel to the conversation while speaking in the best of her sarcastic tone.

I must say, if the world organizes a contest of “Queen of Sarcasm’, each and every girl will be the best contender for first condition.

‘You want me to change my seat?’ I asked in annoyance.

‘No need, you can’t deprive us from this honor and pleasure.’ Both of them said in their own ways.

‘I need a paper and a pen.’ I told Rimsha.

She fished her pen pouch and passed a pen to me.

‘What about the paper?’ I asked

She looked at me irritably and asked Annabeth to do the needful.

I hardly had any interest in attending the lecture. I used to get ready-made notes from Tanay and Rimsha. The secret of my good position in the batch were these notes. I never understood why Tanay never made it up to gain best rank. I was dreaming about Upasana. I was recalling the chats I had with her. I was planning my first official date. As the class ended, the professor asked to submit the assignment. But this notice was only for those who all have missed the submission. I first looked at Tanay saying what the hell?  I was fazed; I then looked at Rimsha loathingly.

“Don’t say you missed it, Vyom! You know this professor will gonna screw you up.” 

Her worried expression was quite clear from her face.

‘I never knew anything about this and what the fuck were you doing? You are supposed to inform me about these fucking submissions.’ I said yelling at Rimsha

I knew what the next reaction I would be getting from her.

‘What the heck? Ass! Don’t give that crap. Did you ever check your shit mail box? Anyways you have much shittiest things to do.’ She said while getting up from her seat.

‘Can’t you do it for me? What kind of friend are you? Why the fuck am I daily tolerating you? It’s really worthless to have you as my friend. You are certainly not a friend in need. So just fuck off.  And never show your shit face to me.’ I yelled and turned to leave.

Annabeth and Betty were stunned and agape to see what ever happened. I went to the professor asking for an informal extension and ended-up with a never- solvable dispute. I had screwed up the screw up. I was frustrated. I rushed to my room where I saw Tanay waiting for me. Tanay knew that he will also be a victim of this storm. I ignoring him I got inside my room and slammed the door behind me.
